"You cheated!"

"I did not.."

"Did too!"

"I can't help I am more skilled than you.."

"FUCK YOU UCHIHA!"

Kakuzu blinked in confusion as he walked into the living room to see Hidan and Itachi arguing in front of the TV over a video game, Hidan yelling at the overly calm Itachi who refused to give him a proper reaction like the priest was used to.

The Sharingan wielder glanced up at Kakuzu as he entered the room, clearly not giving a damn about Hidan's death threats over getting beaten, which after a few moments, caught the Steam nin's attention and he looked up as well.

"What the hell are you two being so loud about?" The miser asked.

"He's the one being loud because he can't win..." Itachi muttered.

Hidan snarled, "Because you're fucking cheating!"

"I am not. I told you, I am simply more skilled."

"Yeah, only 'cause you and Kisame never let anyone else have a turn..." Hidan said in response, then suddenly snatched the controller out of the Leaf nin's hands. "Oi, Kakuzu! Get your ass over here and play against me!"

Itachi simply looked down at where the controller had been in his hands only moments before with a blank, uncomprehending look, before standing and walking away silently to play one of the handheld devices he kept hidden from Sir Leader.

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes. "Hell no."

"Why not?!"

"Because it is childish, and a waste of time and money..."

"Well too bad! I'm bored, so play a few rounds with me!" Hidan demanded.

"No." With that, Kakuzu simply turned and left, planning on returning to his bedroom, though Hidan refused to let him get away that easily. He quickly jumped up and ran in front of him, blocking the door to their room. "Pleeeeease? Just for a little bit?"

Kakuzu gave him an annoyed look. "Hidan, get out of the way."

"Nope."

Resisting the urge to cut off his partner's head, the stitched man gave him a warning glare. "Move right now, or so help me..."

Hidan's shoulders fell slightly and he sighed in defeat, starting to walk down the hall. "I get it... You're just scared you'll lose, huh?"

Kakuzu stopped with his hand an inch from the door knob. "Scared? You really are an idiot... Why would I be scared of losing a dumb game?"

The priest gave him a smug look over his shoulder. "You really are scared, aren't you?"

"Of course I'm not..."

"Pussy!"

"I'm not-"

"PUSSY!"

"Hidan, you annoying shit, shut up!" Kakuzu snapped, his anger starting to boil over at Hidan's yelling.

He crossed his arms defiantly. "Not until I get what I want."

"You realize I can still sew your mouth shut, right?"

Hidan shrugged. "I'll find another way to bother you. Now seriously, just a few rounds, that's all I'm asking!"

Kakuzu seemed to contemplate it for a moment, then growled, "Fine... But you can't whine, complain, or bug me at all for the rest of the day..."

"Deal! Now let's go already!" Hidan cheered, attempting to drag the masked man with him, though failed to make him rush at all.

Once they were back in the living room, Hidan forced the taller man to take the controlled, which he looked down at in disdain, having thoughts of crushing it to get out of this annoyance. But upon remembering that Hidan would simply force him to buy another one some way or another, he knew it would simply be a wasted effort.

Sitting down, he watched with a scowl as his comrade started the game up, and made no attempt to defend his character or fight back, much to Hidan's irritation. As soon as his character was defeated, Kakuzu put the controller down and stood. "Well that was fun, but-"

"Hey, hey! Where the hell do you think you're going?! The deal was you play a couple rounds, not one! And you have to actually try, so sit your ass back down, fuckface!"

Kakuzu shot him a hateful death glare before complying, feeling the urge to kill something growing steadily.

The next 30 minutes were spent in frustration for the stitched man, until he finally decided he'd had his fill and got up to leave the room immediately after the 5th round.

Hidan blinked in surprise and got up to follow him. "Shit, man, what's your problem?" When he didn't get an answer, Hidan slowly grinned. "You're a fucking sore loser, aren't you? You're all pissy 'cause I actually beat you at something! That's adorable-"

He didn't get a chance to say anything else though, as one of the masks on Kakuzu back opened it's mouth and shot a large, powerful bolt of electricity at him without warning, and he then walked into their room and slammed the door shut.

Several minutes passed before Hidan heard footsteps approaching him, and he weakly lifted his Tobi looking down at him with what he assumed was concern.

"Are you okay, Hidan-san?" Tobi asked, sounding as sickly innocent as usual.

"..Yeah, I'm fine... Just got blasted with a Lightning Style jutsu, no problem, seriously..." He muttered sarcastically.

"Oh, okay. Tobi was just worried when he saw you face down on the floor..."

My Jashin, he's an idiot... "Well, it's no big deal.. But hey," Hidan said, sitting up. "Can I ask you a favor?"

"Of course! Tobi's a good boy!" Tobi informed him enthusiastically.

Grinning evilly on the inside, Hidan put on the most worried look he could and asked, "Could you keep Kakuzu-san company for a little while? I think he could use a good dose of your cheer..."

The masked man gave a vigorous nod. "Alright Hidan-san! Kakuzu-san does need to be much happier... You're such a good friend to be concerned like that!"

As soon as Tobi was out of earshot, Hidan giggled to himself, only for a disapproving voice from behind to say, "That was just plain cruel, un. Siccing Tobi on him like that."

"Oh well. Bastard had it coming. He should have thought twice before fucking electrocuting me over his anger issues. I mean, I got anger problems too, but I don't go setting people on fire and shit like he does! That's abuse, seriously! You wouldn't put up with that, right?"

Deidara snorted. "Of course not. But me and Danna aren't nearly as violent as you two, yeah."

Hidan sighed, and rubbed the back of his neck. "Guess so. I mean, I'll put up with his temper and all, but if he goes over reacting and taking stuff out on me like that, I'm not just going to do nothing about it."

That's when there was a crash sound from Kakuzu and Hidan's room and an audible scream from Tobi.

"...You should run-" Deidara started, but before he could even finish, Hidan had already gave a quick nod and a short 'yep' before standing and taking off out of the base to find a hiding spot before Kakuzu came looking for revenge.
